In this paper the possibility of the identification of a complete fuzzy decision (not only the maximizing alternative) in fuzzy linear programming by use of the parametric programming technique is presented. Also, it is shown that this fact can be useful in the Zimmermann approach to multiple objective linear programming. The presented remarks are illustrated by some numerical examples.

A review on history, trends and perspectives of fuzzy linear programming
2022, Operations Research Perspectives
This paper presents a literature review and analysis of fuzzy linear programming models and methods. This review traces back to the linear programming with fuzzy linear constraints models proposed by Hans Jürgen Zimmermann during 1974–76 which have become the seminal works for scholars and practitioners in this field due to its ease to implement and understand. To do so, we analyze the timeline of publication of the most important works in the field, evaluate the influence of relevant papers using a time-weighted index based on the amount of citations in order to provide a perspective about the future directions in fuzzy linear programming and to recommend selected books, journals and some recent contributions to readers.
Optimization of fuzzy-valued functions using Zadeh's extension principle
2021, Fuzzy Sets and Systems
This paper proposes a fuzzy optimization problem whose objective function is Zadeh's extension of a function with respect to a parameter and the independent variable. Making use of a partial order relation, the extension of a function mapping each parameter to the corresponding local minimizing point is proven to provide the local smallest fuzzy value for the extended function. Deploying the usual order relation in the literature, the same point is proven to provide the minimal value for the function. Examples illustrate the results.
A scenario-based robust possibilistic model for a multi-objective electronic reverse logistics network
2020, International Journal of Production Economics
Citation Excerpt :
Robust optimization is a modeling methodology which attempts to estimate feasible solutions for all circumstances that could arise due to uncertain parameters (Ben-Tal et al., 2009). In fuzzy programming, the mathematical model may include fuzzy parameters which are applied as the coefficient of decision variables in either objective function and constraints, or the right-hand side of constraints (Zimmermann, 1978; Chanas, 1983; Delgado et al., 1989; Bit et al., 1992). Since our focus is to address uncertainty and risky situations in designing RL networks, some applied methodologies in the fields of RL and closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) are reviewed in this section.
Electronic reverse logistics topic has received growing attention because of its environmental and economic impact. In Canada, the province of Ontario has enacted regulations regarding the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Recycling program. The objective of this study is to develop a novel scenario-based robust possibilistic approach to optimize and configure an electronic reverse logistics network by considering the uncertainty associated with fixed and variable costs, the quantity of demand and return, and the quality of returned products. A Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to analyze the performance of our proposed model. Then, ANOVA test is conducted to statistically verify our model using the simulation results. The mathematical model is extended to the multi-objective optimization by maximising the environmental compliance of the third parties. The efficient solutions of the multi-objective model are computed using the two-phase fuzzy compromise approach. To provide a comprehensive assessment of the problem under investigation, we provide sensitivity analyses on the impact of different factors (e.g., recovery rates, capacity of facilities) on the total expected profit. Several interesting results were obtained, including the fact that increasing the capacity of facilities does not automatically translate into higher profits. Furthermore, by comparing the efficient solutions of deterministic and robust modes, we illustrate the impact of robustness price on the multi-objective model. The application of the proposed model is illustrated using a network in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Canada.
A solution for the neutrosophic linear programming problem with a new ranking function
2020, Optimization Theory Based on Neutrosophic and Plithogenic Sets
Neutrosophic theory is a useful theory to handle uncertainty in information. In this chapter, we develop a new solution for the neutrosophic linear programming problem (NLPP) when all coefficients in the objective function and the constraints are the neutrosophic number (NN). First a parametric ranking method is proposed to rank NNs. Then, a parametric efficient method for solving the NLPP is proposed using a linear ranking function for defuzzifying the NLPP. The prominence of this method is that the decision-maker’s opinion is effective. Finally, numerical examples are employed to demonstrate the capability of our methods.
